Many relationships have been breaking up due to low sperm counts experienced from men counterparts. However, this condition can be easily controlled and normal conditions retained.
As explained by Dr James Wamukoya live on Radio, he says that for a successful ejaculation with an aim to fertilize the female ovum and result into a kid, approximately 200,000million sperms are needed and incase this number is not reached, there will be a misbalance in sperm count and ovum in the fallopian tube where fertilisation takes place hence there will be no fertilization and the woman will not have a child.
According to Dr Wamukoya, low sperm count sometimes is not only a natural disoder that one is born with but also an acquired problem which many males fail to understand. You can find out that some people were born without the sperm duct. Medical practitioners try to scan with Xrays but they can’t see it. Excessive Masturbation in men is one of the major causes of low sperm count. You can find a man performing it for over three times a day for one year without knowing that they are lowering the progesterone hormones which is responsible for sperm production. “I started masturbating while in high school, that’s form three after watching a pornographic video from my friend’s phone”. Alex Juma, 27, a resident in Kitale town narrates how he ended up addicted to masturbation. ‘I never knew this weird act could one day cause problems to my entire life. In the beginning, I convinced myself that it was a shortcut to sexual satisfaction because it was during my adolescence period and my body demanded for sex but I was unable to convince a lady. I regrets alot for doing so because it is affecting me now “kinaniramba” , my first wife went back to her parents due to inability to sire children. She left and I found another one whom we lived for one full year but nothing different was produced that’s where I realised thai I was the one with the problem because she had come with her biological child. I decided to seek for medication and within one month, taking drugs, regular physical exercise, stress management and eating more tomatoes, groundnuts, simsim and pumpkin seeds, I had changed and by now my wife is pregnant and am proud being the next father to someone”. Alex concluded.
Apart from masturbation, there are some unknown ways that has been lowering sperm counts of men recently. Those working in high heating boilers in factories, wearing of tight clothes and taking hot shower since the amount of heat reaching the testicles is high and this will increase the temperatures thus denatures the sperms which are produced at a ln optimum temperature.
Also, taking drugs without understanding the side effects may end up bringing the problem. It is advised to avoid those drugs and consult physicians incase signs are observed. It is good to seek medical assistance together with your wife if you have been feeling or she complains of low sperm counts and limited sexual intercourse. If someone is undertaking a daily dose especially those suffering against high blood pressure thus will have more stress mentally and emotionally, he will be at a risk of experiencing low sperm production.
Sexual transmitted diseases are other agent that makes a man unable to impregnate a woman because the body will be used to antibiotics hence becomes resistant. It is important that couples sit together and discuss issues together do as to avoid re infection.
Many times, it is a woman who is blamed for not having a child in a relationship. A man believes that provided he has ejaculated, that is the end and expects his wife to bear a child. Men always send women to hospitals for checkups but this is so dangerous since that marriage will be at risk.
In conclusion, low sperm counts are a human problem and can be cured if appropriate measures are observed. Men should avoid suspecting their wives instead they should seek medications as a unit for a proper relationship and sexual satisfaction which strengthens the bonds together by producing offsprings.
